Play by play and color? For play by play I always loved Charlie Jones from NBC. Color commentary I liked Matt Millen. Has the boss he's terrible. As for giving his opinion on the football field I enjoy his honesty.

Dick Enberg by far. Makes it about the event and the people he is covering and not him.

C' mon folks. Who is your favorite? Least favorite? Some we agree with. Some we think that they are full of feces.

i dont really pay much attention to the announcers. But i guess Al Micheals just has a voice that alwys seems to capture me and make me watch. For comedy i like Madden, hes just a comedian to me

Michaels is actually pretty good for football, but I can't say that I really care for him much on the basketball court.

Michaels is pretty good at calling football. When I think of Michaels the one thing that comes to mind is the 1980 hockey game when he beautifuly called that historic game.

My least favorite? Todd Christenson(sp?) that old tight end for the Raiders that lookes like a bad 1970's porn star. I remember him blowing Warren Moon during that famous 1992 play off game vs the Oilers. He was almost crying when that guy from the Broncos dumped Ernest(sp?) Givens on his head.
Randy Cross is another guy I can't stand. Always go to the KOA broadcast when he is doing a Bronco game, because he doesn't even try to hide his bias.

Can't stand Randy Coss either. They need to fire him. I used to like Merlin Olsen. Fine color even greater player. 14 straight Pro Bowl's (NFL RECORD). Played with the FEARSON FORESOME. Lundy, Grier, Deacon and Merlin. Greatest ever? Maybe? Respected by all? No question

Lundy, Grier, Deacon and Merlin. Greatest ever? Maybe? Respest by all? No questionI liked Merlin Olsen as well. I love the old days of Olsen and Enberg.
They wouldn't put Olsen on the air today(at least on the #1 team) because he wouldn't say big dumb brash things just to get ratings.
As for ones I do like, Troy Aikman is a guy I like, but they put him with Collensworth and Buck. I can't stand either of those grand standers.
I mean the fake Moon by Moss last year was pretty dumb and lame, but Buck went way over the top, because he knew they would be replaying it a million times on highlight shows and it was a good way to get himself some pub.
I didn't mind Collensworth until he went off on the refs during that Giants/49er's play off game a few years ago that ended so weird. Turns out he didn't even know the rule that he was busting the blood vessal in his head about.

Favorite: Enberg and Dierdorf
Least Favorite: Sunday Night Football crew. I like Mike Patrick, but Summerall sucked as his interim replacement last yeat and Thiesman and McGuire suck

That guy that always went "Oh My" when we played Cleveland.
Isn't that Enberg? He's getting older, but still pretty good.
Merlin Olson was pretty good, is he gone?
Oh wait, it's a Steven A. Smith moment. This should be good.

Steven A. Smith says he's "very disturbed" by the Pistons play. That certainly sounds unbiased.
